Molly:

[ATTACH]32361[/ATTACH]

A wonderful friend and companion died unexpectedly on Saturday.

She was a native of Polk County ( I think...at least where she was found...and likely had been abandoned).

By birth, expected to be a hunting dog, she was instead a lover. Sweet natured, she sometimes chased things for fun, but never hurt another creature. She was sweet, loyal, smart and had an independent spirit. She never met a fence that she could not get out of or break in to.

She is survived by her adopted son, Max, another 4 legged housemate Maggie, and her loving owner Melissa, aka, ladypanther, and several other 4 legged friends.

A celebration of her outstanding life was held on the beautiful spring day that she departed this world. The burial was at the edge of the woods that she loved to roam and where she could monitor the groundhog den she recently discovered and keep watch over the house that was her home.

This dog broke my heart today. She was about 8 years old. She had no signs of illness. When I found her today there were no signs of any problems. My guess has to be something like a heart attack.

I think that Molly was supposed to be a hunting dog but that she failed hunting class....she hated loud noises...especially gunshots. Likely her first owner just turned her loose. She was a full Treeing Walker Coon Hound. When I found her years ago, she had what looked like a tumor on her leg. The vet said it was from being kept on concrete. Molly fixed that....the first piece of furniture she found in my house was my bed. She slept in that bed every night for nearly 6 years. Molly was a great dog. She had that wonderful hound bay. I will miss that...and I will miss her.

Sorry to hear. I know how hard it can be to lose a pet. When my boy went it was like I lost my first born. She'll be waiting at the bridge for ya.

So sorry, ladypanther. Let me tell you something. A lot of animals get treated like crap in this world. Molly was one of the few that hit the lottery when you found her. Hope that's some consolation. Hopefully it will be when the pain of losing her wears off.

      The Evolution of the Panthers WR Room from 2023 to 2025

      I'm more impressed with the UDFA that the guys they have drafted in the first the last 2 years. A whole lot of prove it is still needed before any improvement should be talked about seriously.

      PANTHERS @ HURRICANES ROUND 3 GAME 1

      By PantherChris · Posted

      While I don't believe its a must win, (we have been better on the road this post season) it is definitely A NEED TO WIN the longer this series goes the more pronounced the Canes advantage on rest and health will be! If we hold serve at home in games 1 and 2 guaranteeing a 6 game minimum series for them if we lose the road games..... by the game 4 and 5 I expect them to be beat they have played A LOT OF HOCKEY the last three years, they have MINIMAL rest off a more physical than one might have expected series vs the leafs.... you know Tampa took their pound of flesh in round 1 from them. Combine all that with the fact that even though this year's canes squad isn't as talented as last years this IS a better squad than the one they swept last time that had McKenzie Mckeathern on line 1 Turbo with a broken hand a banged uo and eventually concussed Slavin (and even though it was a sweep 6 OTS and 4 1 goal losses is hardly dominant)  This year Bob hasn't been superman (hes probably gonna still have a great save percentage agiast us just a side effect of our style) Thatchuk is maybe 50% (3 game winners agiast us) their defense no longer has Gudas and several other downgrades.  While the Canes have a healthy and performing Svechnikov along with other big guys to counteract florida like Carrier, Jankowski, Robinson.   I by know means think it will happen but I either see this as a low scoring dog fight or a series were the canes surprise and end up dominating.
